; SWEET 
Onions UENCE. 
VALENCIA__ 

The Onion Seed Crop was very short this past season. I advise placing your orders 
early. 
The Rocky Ford district is one of the important onion producing sections of the 
U.S. Because of the importance of onions to this section, great care and attention is 
given to the strain of seed used. Fully 80% of the seed planted here is from this strain. 
Onions from our seed will average 212 to 3 inches in diameter, with many measuring 4 
to 5 inches. Usual expectations here are for 1000 to 1500 crates to the acre. Our crates 
weigh 42 to 45 lbs. each. We plant in drills and use from 2 to 2% pounds of seed per 
acre. 
Our seed bulbs are selected for uniform size, color and keeping ability. Many of the 
onions raised here go into storage in September and are not taken out until April, they 
must be good keepers to hold that long. 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH (Utah or Winegar Strain) ... . The bulbs 
are large 
and globe shaped, having 4 or 5 heavy golden-brown outside skins. The flesh is white 
and of a mild pleasant flavor. The superiority of our strain is its deep color, excellent 
Keeping ability, thick skin, uniformity and trueness to type. Top growth is very vigor- 
ous and more resistant to thrip than most other strains.

WHITE SWEET SPANISH IMPROVED ... . This is the finest of the white 
strains. It will produce very 
large, globe shaped, white onions of very mild flavor. While a fairly heavy yielder and 
keeper it will not compare with the Yellow variety. The higher market price received 
for the White onions will, in most cases, offset the difference in yield.
